How the library approached the project
After the library was confirmed as a suitable client and 3 students were attached to it, it was time for the library to lay out the - what and how to approach to this project.
The library got back to the lecturer with a brief of the basic requirements from the Library Services.
The library offered a choice of 3 themes:
(1) The UN Sustainable Development Goals or SDG's, (2) A Selection of 4 UN International Awareness Days (3) A campaign to promote E-books/Databases/E-journals
Faculty Liaison Librarian for Business provided guided tutorials to students showing them how to identify, select and use Library resources appropriate for the chosen theme/s.
The library follows the Branding and Social Media guidelines for TU Dublin and these guidelines would have to be adhered to when creating social media posts
The branding guidelines were shared with the 3 students.
TU Dublin Library Services is now a unified service, made up of 3 Libraries, in Blanchardstown, City (Aungier Street, Bolton Street & Park House in Grangegorman) and Tallaght which at the time had maintained 3 separate Social Media platforms but, for the purposes of this project, students were asked to create campaigns that could easily fit into all 3 accounts.
As a client, the library undertook to be available to guide the students throughout the life span of the project.
